MARCELLUS & UTICA GAS GROUP ENDOWS PITT-BRADFORD SCHOLARSHIP
BRADFORD, Pa. – The members of Marcellus & Utica Gas, a group of individuals associated with suppliers, services and manufacturers in the oil and gas industry, have noticed a trend in their field.

“Everything we see is technology related,” says Walt Elmquist, a founding board member of the nonprofit group. “Tech is everything. As we travel the northeast, every company we talk to needs technical people.”
The shift from mechanical to technical skills throughout the oil and gas industry led the MUG members to look for ways to support educational opportunities in oil and gas technology. A group of programs at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford fit the bill perfectly.

Grand River Agency: A New Brand Identity Celebrating National Growth
OLEAN, NY – A communications startup launched from an east Olean home office is announcing a rebrand to mark its national influence for small nonprofit and business clients. Southern Tier Communications Strategies, LLC is now Grand River Agency, a title honoring its local roots and forecasting a brighter future.

Grand River Agency President and Founder Kelsey Boudin opened STCS in 2020. Beginning with local digital marketing and nonprofit grant writing jobs, the agency grew rapidly to serve a vast client base alongside fellow communications experts across the United States.
“Opening at the start of the pandemic came with risks,” Boudin said. “We’ve been fortunate to harness the power of the digital realm to reach new clients and partners. This rebrand is a key step toward an identity serving organizations everywhere. For imagery, we looked no further than the beautiful Allegheny River here in our backyards – a driver of communication and commerce for hundreds of years.”
Grand River Agency’s small team specializes in digital marketing tactics like SEO blogging, social media, podcasting, graphic design, videography and website development, as well as nonprofit fundraising strategies like grant writing, funder research and cases for support.
